Labor’s razor gang isn’t worried about blowouts for AUKUS subs or tax breaks for rich property investors - they’re out for the NDIS instead. There's always money for war, but whenever Labor needs a dollar, disability supports, schools and hospitals are on the chopping block.

For many disabled people, it’s the first time they’ve had access to a basic level of help needed for a good life. Every NDIS cut takes a critical support from a disabled person and forces the family to pick up the slack, amid a cost of living crisis. That hurts women the most.

The Greens will fight Labor's cuts to the NDIS. Labor wants to cut the NDIS instead of taxing gas exports or the 1% as they think the disability community is an easy target. They’re wrong. Disabled people won’t stop fighting for basic rights, and the Greens will back them.

War Criminals should be prosecuted no matter if they have a Victoria Cross or they are a head of state. When we let go of our morality in favour of comfort or expedience, we lose what our democracy and community is supposed to represent. theguardian.com/australia-news…

It's not just about defending what we have but expanding Medicare so our community can be proud of a health system that supports everyone no matter their income.

The Cleanbill report released today shows there's still so much work to do to make sure Australian's can access healthcare when they need it.

I'm proud the Greens were able to get real change from the government to protect our environment. This protects the health of regular folks but there is work to be done. To protect WA we need to stop the Burrup Hub and protect Scott Reef. I will keep working in the Senate for WA

This is Australia’s Prime Minister on the same day he told the states to spend less on hospitals.

If any other country was doing what the United States is doing right now, there would be outrage in our Parliament but because it's the US, This Labor government is silent. It's time to end the billions in Australian funds going to American weapons manufacturers and end AUKUS.

Now the government has joined the Coalition to vote against an inquiry into AUKUS proposed by the Greens. Video description: Jordon speaks in the Senate, wearing a grey suit jacket and a white shirt with a navy floral design. He sits at a brown wood desk with a black microphone.

Our government clings to the hope that billions of our dollars will get us a handful of nuclear submarines. They are more interested in protecting a political pact to send hundreds of billions of Australian funds to the United States than investing in Aussies.

The Greens are calling for raise in the rebate with long appointments with your GP and properly funding community health care centres, so that they can continue to provide care to those who need it most.

Many in our community need longer appointments to get wrap-around care for complex health conditions, yet the government refuses to lift rebates to support this model of care. I asked about this in question time today.

People across the country are struggling to access affordable healthcare. Out-of-pocket costs are continuing to rise, and community healthcare centres are closing their doors. Why is the government MIA when it comes to community health?

The Greens are calling for a review of the Medicare Benefits Schedule to finally include oral health treatments and restorative services for cancer survivors. It’s time to end the ridiculous rules that exclude the mouth, neck and teeth.

Right now, people recovering from cancer are being forced into massive debt, remortgaging their homes or turning to predatory lenders to get essential healthcare. This is utterly unacceptable.

The Greens are calling on the Albanese to end the profound inequity faced by our community in treatment of head and neck cancers. People deserve to be given the healthcare they need when they need it.
